I remember renting this tape way back when, and the bad taste still clings to the back of my throat like the memory of a romance that went sour. Yor couldn't fight his way out of a soggy paper bag with holes in it. His sword looked like it was made of the cheap plastic they used when making toy swords. He seemed to have come from a future where every man dressed in designer furs from some pimp's closet!

My favorite "D" movie has to be "Flesh Gordon", I only wish I still had the copy that was given to me. My neighbor worked at a video store and would bring home an even dozen movies to preview every Friday night. When they couldn't sell or even give away titles, the store let the employees have them for free. I got a copy of "Flesh Gordon" to go with my Flash Gordon collection and now I can't find it! I suspect foul play.

Response from head RAZZberry: If you wanna replace your copy of FLESH GORDON, here's a LINK to the page for it on DVD and/or on VHS at Amazon. The VHS can be had for around Ten Bux...

I watched "Fair Game" (the failed Cindy Crawford star vehicle movie) because I felt like torturing myself last night. It's 15 years old, so there's no Internet or cell phones, so I guess that counts as being "old". Wow, that was the most formulaic movie ever! You can almost picture the screenwriter as he typed the "script" up while saying "Okay, a bad one-liner here, here, and here. An action sequence every 10 minutes. Pointless sex scene there. And no less than three major explosions! Okay, done deal!". It was like a Michael Bay movie before Michael Bay got into the business.

The Four Horsemen of the Moviepocalypse: uncalled for sequels/remakes/reboots, 3-D surcharges, untalented "celebrities", and anything with Michael Bay's name attached to it.

This film was the first of it's kind, because it's the first film film to star an all midget cast (i mean little people, it's introduced as an "all midget cast").

These right, singing little people riding shetland pony's.

If you have some spare time in the weekend , I'd give it a watch (it's only 60 minutes long).

Enjoy!

P.S. HeadRAZZ: you seem to be the expert on these kind of films. Had you ever heard about this one?

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Indeed I have, and we have listed it as our Worst Movie on Basic Cable item a number of times -- I believe it was also listed in one of the Medved brother's WORST FILMS OF ALL TIME books.

Personally, I found the film's concept far more amusing than the actual film itself. For the curious, here's a LINK to the IMDb page for TERROR OF TINY TOWN.

You have to love that scene near the end of The Babe Ruth Story where Bendix/Ruth is in the hospital dying, and his fans are gathered outside his hospital room singing a hymn-like rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." That is bathos of the highest order. It is probablys some sort of tribute to just what an enduring icon Babe Ruth is that his fame has survived not just one, but two awful bio-pics.

Here's one... The Dogway Melody... This 17-minute short film
stars an all dog-cast... and it's creepier than any Mo-Crap Animation
movie you'll ever see... but somehow I kept watching out of a strange
form of fascination....

I don't know if members like SchumacherH8ter and Vits accept review-requests... But if so, I would really like it if you gave this one of your reviews...

I accept any requests to watch movies,but I can't guarantee I'll review them.And I don't review short films.But I can give you my thoughts.

At first it was fascinatingly creepy,then just plain weird,and then boring...and that was just the first half!This is a good example of a problem that still exists today:Making movies without thinking first who'll be the target audience.Who's the target audience here?We have animals talking singing,but there are adult themes as well.And considering this was made in 1930...

I'm pretty sure the part where the dogs yawned had to be improvised because the dogs yawned and they didn't want to waste footage.

Can you believe this was part of a series?And can you believe the directorswould later work on 3 Stooges movies?
